Start your appliance
A. Alarm light
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after
installation.
If the alarm light (A) illuminates, it indicates that the
temperature within the freezer has reached a level
where safe food storage is no longer ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light
will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a
safe level for the storage of frozen food.
B. Fast freeze light
The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the
fast freeze function is working.
C. Fast freeze control switch
When you place fresh food in the appliance, press
the fast freeze control switch.
D. Pilot light
The operation light is illuminated continuously, to
show that the appliance is on.
E. Thermostat control knob
Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to
required setting.
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D)
will illuminate to show that the appliance is on.
Turn the thermostat control (G) to a midway setting.
The pilot light (F) will illuminate. Leave the appliance
for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature
to be reached before placing food inside.
To switch off the appliance turn the thermostat
control to position “O” .
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «O»
position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. For
easier turning of this control, use a small coin.The
internal temperature of the freezer is automatically
adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food
storage.
However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable
room conditions such as
16
-
poor ventilation,
-
high temperature,
5
-
frequent door openings,
it may be necessary to select a more suitable
setting.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the larger ●; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the smaller ●.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(B) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezing fresh food.
This time can be shortened, depending on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest
parts.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly
less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch;
the yellow light (B) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 12 hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food
on the cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low
temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen.

SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
Thawing
Fresh food refrigeration
In the event of your appliance requiring service, or if you wish to purchase spare parts, please contact your local
Zanussi Service Force Centre by telephoning:-
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & Poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the glass shelf on the
top of the salad crispers.

Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your fridgefreezer
•
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
•
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen
food in the freezer immediately.
•
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.
•
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
•
Do not store food uncovered.
•
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
•
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to Maintenance and Cleaning.
•
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage time.
•
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal .
•
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its original
quality. Partially thawed food must not be
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated by the
manufacturer.
•

Defrosting
Cool Check Guide
Refrigerator
The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip
sealed in a shelf trim.
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via a
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature
to store food the guide will appear black. If the
temperature rises above this level the guide will
show the words TOO WARM.
TOO WARM
Positioning of the Cool Check
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the salad
crispers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you
will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
The shelf with the cool check temperature guide
must be placed in the fridge according to the
instructions located on the fridge wall and always
ensure the guide is at the front.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.

SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
Thawing
Fresh food refrigeration
In the event of your appliance requiring service, or if you wish to purchase spare parts, please contact your local
Zanussi Service Force Centre by telephoning:-
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & Poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the glass shelf on the
top of the salad crispers.
0870 5 929929

frequent door openings,
it may be necessary to select a more suitable
setting.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the larger ●; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the smaller ●.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(B) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezing fresh food.
This time can be shortened, depending on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest
parts.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly
less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch;
the yellow light (B) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 12 hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food
on the cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low
temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen.
